I had to invest some brain cycles here. For the first:

Assuming firmware_has_feature(FW_FEATURE_PS3_LV1) always returns the
same value, snd_ps3_driver_probe is only used after this check succeeds
because the driver is registered only after this check in
snd_ps3_init().

The second is superflous because ps3_system_bus_match() yields false if
this doesn't match the driver's match_id.

Best regards
Uwe
